Take the complexity out of design with Mott's 3 easy steps to make your vision become reality while keeping it feasible and fast.

Parker's Universal Motor Adapter (UMA) makes it easier than ever for machine designers to specify their linear stage with whatever motor they'd like while avoiding the often drawn-out customization process.

As an ISO 9001 manufacturer, PBM produces standard and custom sanitary valve products for services required to minimize contamination, facilitate CIP/SIP, and reduce downtime. PBM Radial Diaphragm Valves comply with ASME BPE guidelines and offer valve certifications. 

Chromalox is pleased to announce that they now offer Wireless Temperature Sensing for Heat Trace applications in both ordinary and hazardous areas. This new capability provides several benefits including expanded application flexibility, improved process safety, and measured installation cost savings while maintaining system integrity.

IAI's RCS3 Servo Press compact and low-thrust rod-type actuator can even be used for simple pressing. The high-precision position control enables easy adjustment of the push force and the position control, which is typically difficult for oil-hydraulic equipment.

StoneL provides solutions that help reduce installation costs through easy setup, faster commissioning, and enhanced valve identification. Bright electronic indication combined with optional remote wireless access provides enhanced risk management and improved safety.

A wide variety of product types are in the new RCP6 series, which also include wide slider types and wide radial cylinder types. Allowable dynamic moment for the wide slider type is 14 times higher than the standard slider. Learn more.

Unplanned downtime is very expensive for any company— and emergency downtime can be disastrous for profits and continued viability. Emergency downtime (when something has gone seriously, catastrophically wrong) can cost five times as much as downtime for planned maintenance.

Designing an effective and long-lasting system—one that will not only meet current requirements but will also provide exceptional performance and quality in the future—is a challenge that many manufacturers struggle to meet. This article looks at how to design an optimal system. Learn more

The explosionproof Hawkeye, with its stainless steel enclosure, is designed for service in harsh process environments. It features a solid state proximity sensor which is encased in a shock absorbent urethane potting material.

Determining problems and errors in the field just got easier with the new WIKA MH-3 pressure transmitter for mobile working machines. WIKA Instrument, LP captures the latest pressure sensor technology with the addition of the diagnostic function in the new MH-3 pressure transmitter.

The Prism PI integrates an advanced position sensing system and integral pneumatic control for sanitary diaphragm and other linear applications. Compact and durable, the PI is suited for corrosive, heavy washdown, and hazardous areas.

Securing the go ahead for a system upgrade can be difficult in a competitive work environment, where every cost must be accounted for and validated. Getting your project noticed and approved when it's lost among a sea of competing projects—each one making a claim on finite resources—can seem an impossible task.

When discussing fluid power, pressure is the basis for producing any kind of work.  Work cannot be achieved without pressure. To understand the finer points of fluid power, one must first understand the concept of pressure

A growing trend in industrial plant design is wireless connectivity. Recent technological advances have made wireless protocols significantly more robust and reliable than previous versions, enough so to rival traditional hard-wired connections.

Proper training in product, maintenance, and system startup was an essential part of a successful startup of the heat tracing system at the power plant.

Factory automation mobility is not just about iPads. Companies of all sizes need to think about the software needed to push context-sensitive information to operators and managers.

Eight Reasons Why Off-Loop Filters Work

Populations Equipment packagers have an uncanny talent for squeezing major components into very small footprints, obviously to minimize floor-space requirements.

While demographers busily count the world's population, manufacturers world-wide fight a different battle against growing particle populations within lube-oil and hydraulic systems.

One resource that you may have overlooked is OSHA's collection of standard interpretation letters, which are OSHA's official responses to written questions about compliance with the agency's requirements.

Standard fluid line systems were for many years constructed from threaded pipe of assorted materials and were assembled with various standard pipe fitting shapes.

Emissivity is a surface property that determines how much radiation an object emits at a given temperature compared to a blackbody at the same temperature.

If an IRt/c sensor is installed and does not function as expected the failure may be due to something other than the sensor.
